To stand on my truth With eye open wide. To live without fear To rise with the tide. Our nature unfolds Then recedes in the night. The tide ebbs and flows Our life in the balance On the edge of unfoldment and refoldment We are the moon and wind, the spin of […]
I am who I am To reach for the stars To crumble to the earth To feel life with every stretch With every reach Inside my being, filling me Taking over my life Swallowing my perception, losing myself in its nature Our nature The exhilaration of life and death And sandwiched in between, I don’t […]
I reach for the fruit of companionship But I am death, and as I lay my frail fingers upon it, it withers and crumbles of ash I reach and the world recedes, I hear the gallop of their fearful hearts Around me the stench of decay, a fertile ground for seeds to lay I see […]
This puppet face barely looks real If I glance quickly, a human appears But if I give it attention I get pulled into the grotesque details, Disproportionate features pinned onto a shrinking face, The humanity pulls away bits and pieces on display I want to give it away this thing, these parts hung on me […]

Hypnotized by Leonard’s voice, embraced like darkness by the deep melodic tones, my heart swells, raw and vulnerable to the grieving of a life unlived, the journeys unexplored, the paths unchartered, nestled in the cocoon of fear, life held in my trembling hand. Overcome with pain of the stories untold, adventures aborted in the uterus […]
I have a unique relationship with my son. In my travels, on my journey, in the shadows and under the lights, I have never experienced the quality of relationship as I do with him.

These responses are rooted in carefully calculated predictions about the effect each action will have on our circumstances. Our predictive algorithms are constructed […]
